1>  Does any body know the flow rates static and dynamic for the 8.0L V-10
pick-up truck engine.  Wondering how similar the injectors ar to the 5.9L
V-8 ( I realize there is a difference in displacement/cylinder.)

2> Not really dyi related but does anybody know the reliabilty of the 8.0L
block.  Ran compression and leakdowns on one that was mainly used to tow a
horse trailer, truck still feals great yet there was up to 70% leakdown in
multiple cylinders and less than 15% in  others (truck had 21000 miles). 
Checked out another with 27000 miles and it also had multiple cylinders
with leakdown above 65%.  Checked out a 1998 with 500 miles and all the
compression and leakdowns were similar and respectable.  Did the tests
multiple times hot/cold/rockers off etc still came up with the same
results.
To the question - does anybody know if there is a serious problem with
cylinder head warpage on this engine????? this is the only thing I can
equate this phenomenon to.  does anybody have any other suggestions of what
may be causing this????


thanks

joe
